MODIS corrected reflectance true color data from both the Aqua (ascending node) and Terra (descending node) satellites were obtained at 250m resolution from http://gibs.earthdata.nasa.gov in an Antarctic Polar Stereographic Projection (epsg3031). We provided images for the ROSETTA-Ice region of interest as *.png files.
Marked float locations updated as of 13-Nov-2016.
Users interested in larger areas, times and resolutions should go to WorldView, NASA’s EOSDIS interactive tool to browse global, full-resolution satellite imagery and download the data.
During the ROSETTA-Ice field campaign, full coverage of the Ross Sea area from the Aqua Satellite was available daily from Worldview at 8 am PST. Full coverage of the Ross Sea area from the Terra Satellite was available daily from Worldview at 2:30 pm PST.
